This morning we got together to take a look at what our different make up and costuming we would be using. For principal characters, the production will provide choices of cloths for the actor and stylist (costume designer if you want to be fancy) to pick from and then for the director to ok. And they may also at this time, may, if need be, test make up. In this case they did need to with me, since part of my role requires a days worth of not being alive. The crew researched the look of a dead guy online. They looked at photos of dead folk. Also Julia has a nack for stage make up and offered her advice on how to create the look.

So They did not need the beard!! and the first photo of an angst-ridden B8s is mid-shaving. The next is while in the middle of being ...well, ...put to death. If any of my students have pertinent questions that you think could help the class if answered, pleeease post a comment and I'll help however I can.
